Maintaining an 8 year tradition, AE 7 was held in the Miller Instructional Center just as the very first one was in 1997. I was greatly concerned when I heard that the con for this year would be moved to a hotel. I'm sure I don't know the background as to why they would do such a thing, but I was grateful that the hotel plan did not work out and the con stayed at the Embry-Riddle.

We arrived about a quarter after 10. As we were buying our one day pass in the lobby of the Miller building, there were already a couple of lovely cosplayers on hand.
